Comparatives and Superlatives - Worksheet

This worksheet is designed to help students learn and practice the rules for forming comparatives and superlatives in English. The first section presents a table where students are asked to write the comparative and superlative forms of given adjectives. For example, 'big' becomes 'bigger' in the comparative form and 'biggest' as the superlative. Students are then expected to fill in the comparative and superlative forms for additional adjectives such as 'hot', 'long', 'thin', 'tall', 'easy', and 'short'. This exercise helps reinforce the patterns typically followed by adjectives when they are used to compare objects or persons.

In the second part of the worksheet, students must complete sentences by using the correct form of the adjectives provided in brackets. This section tests their understanding of when to use the comparative form, which is generally used when comparing two things (e.g., "Alan is shorter than his brother Riley."), and the superlative form, which is used when comparing more than two things or to show the extreme degree of one thing (e.g., "The meal was the tastiest she had ever eaten."). The sentences cover a range of adjectives and contexts, ensuring that learners can apply the rules of comparatives and superlatives in various situations. This practical application helps to solidify the grammatical concepts in a fun and engaging manner.
